[vsnet-alert 9085] Re: [AAVSO-DIS] Re: Bright star in Cas via CBAT

[Keith Geary]

Hi all, I've found myself in a great position to observe / photograph this
object right at the time I was observing !
An AAVSO alert came to my mobile phone at 1919UT, I was able to image this
field with a 135mm lens at f2.8, 60 seconds exposure at ISO 800 with a Canon
300D at 2012UT, 31/10/2006.

I have enclosed a link of an image of this area, with some stars
highlighted, I have'nt got a visual estimate at this time, I hope to get one
quite soon. Please examine these, I hope that I've shed some 'light' on this
matter ;-)
